@TheOriginalCane I know you were bullish on Joe Echevarria during the Mario/AD search. Are you sentiments the same a couple years later?

I am still a go with Joe. Sorry for being late, I was at a tax conference at the Fontainebleau. Took a Lyft to Caja Caliente and then swung by Vicky Bakery to get pestelitos for some co-workers.

On the drive to MIA, my phone started blowing up. I’ve been waiting in line at the Centurion Lounge and they just came out to tell us it’s a 90 minute wait. WTF?!

I think a lot of flights are getting cancelled.
 
Seems Miami can update bios quickly since probably handle own website unlike football rooster

Joseph Echevarria

As CEO and Acting President of the University of Miami and UHealth, Joe Echevarria leads more than 20,000 professionals whose focus is transforming lives through education, research, and patient care. A seasoned chief executive, Mr. Echevarria served as the CEO of Deloitte LLP, a global provider...

I actually posted it as a joke before I realized they even promoted from within. It just worked out that way.

I know Joe's background as far as Deloitte and public accounitng career is very good. Smart dude.

The MAGA in me though... finding it hard to look over the time he spent as an advisor for Obama and being on Phizer's BOD.... those 2 facts completely nullify any success he's had anywhere else.

Curious of how the UHealth has transformed since he's been President. Aside from the spike during the 1.5 years of peak covid where $300M hit the bottom line or whatever it was that was exponentially higher than prior periods.

Ha!

No problem, sir, I am running a bit behind. Like American and Delta…

I didn't think it was possible, but this guy was an immensely larger terrd than Shalala was. Total token hire who is completely clueless on so many levels. Aside from Herbstreit EMBARRASSING him on national TV to get him and the Athletic Department to move their azzes to start fixing football, darn near everything else got worse on his watch. Law School has continuing issues. Academics slipping. National ratings (academically) slipping. Baseball program....ugh. Good riddance.

This is a classic example of both the Peter Principle and failing up. Thank you UCLA....thank you.

I think the consensus with every alum I’ve ever spoken to was Frenk is and has been a terrible president for the university. Rankings plummeted, the law school is as bad as it’s ever been or at least in recent memory, athletics are stale. He has been absent and defers most hard work and decisions to others below him for years now… including Echevarria.

The sentiment is that Covid saved his presidency and he would have been gone after his 5 year tenure if it wasn’t for Covid. I guess people saw him qualified to lead the university through the scamdemic because of his health administration background.

Nailed it.

Herbie definitely embarrassed him on national TV.. but it got a reaction and Frenk went public with it and addressed it and actions were taken.

For that... even if it wasn't him... I can't complain. At the end of the day he came here thinking football was soccer and couldn't even tell you the most basic information about the sport.
